NAGTY

[alexxxxx]

Right. I am so peeded off with my school.

My school has this scheme (along witha bazillion other schools). For the National Association Of Giften talented youth.

I wasn't picked even though I am SURE that I am in the top 5% in the school (top set in every subject, very good CAT test results, 8 in Maths, 7 In Science (high)6 In English in year 9 sats results. Good Classwork etc).

Other people who arn't in the higher sets, didn't get as good SATs results, don't perform well in other classes got in!?

I looked in the critera on the website and am in it, so why the hell didn't I get picked? :eusa_wall

Hey Dude.

A couple of years ago I was in the same position! Try speaking to your head of year or your school's NAGTY supervisior.

I found out the reason I wasn't picked (One level to low on one of my CAT's lol). The school still thought I was good enough for the scheme and started my appeal case, sending samples of my work & other results. In a few months I jonied NAGTY.

Thats a shame , talk to your form teacher or something , my school don't do it but I would probs be in it if they did it anyway :]

The only thing I could think of was the CATs, but I remember them being fairly good. Thanks for the help. +REP to both of you.

I'm in that but I don't think it's such a big deal, just something to be proud of, and if you know you deserve it you should be proud anyway.

And it's top 5% in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales I think, so I wouldn't worry about it.

On the website I think you can apply to become a member of it so why not try it?

[Eamonn]

Ty for Rep cus you should be in it cus with your results it shows you are clever , schools aye :rolleyes:

[pepperoni nipz]

Talk to your G&T co-ordinator.

Plus it's not the top 5% of the school that gets in, it's if your in the top 2% of the nation...

[Rizla,]

I'm in the top 5% in england and wales, I didn't get in as the school thought my bad behaviour would embarass them...
